2022 FIM Motocross World Championship - RND #03, GP Of Patagonia-Argentina, Neuquen


Neuquen, in Patagonia-Argentina, hosted the third round of the Motocross World Championship. It was a suffering weekend for SM Action GasGas Racing Team Yuasa Battery riders. Adamo was highlighted only in Race 2, where 5th place allowed him to keep the “top 5” in the General Classification. Forato struggled in both races but he managed to keep 10th place in the Championship.

After two years since the last GP out of European borders, FIM Motocross World Championship went back to Patagonia, Argentina, where the Neuquen circuit shows up in the middle of a spectacular natural frame made by forests and lakes. The track is characterized by a medium soft surface made out of volcanic sand. SM Action GasGas Racing Team Yuasa Battery deployed Andrea Adamo #80 (MX2) and Alberto Forato (MXGP).


On Saturday Andrea began the weekend with 6th place in Free Practice and the 10th in Timed Practice. In Qualifying Race, Andrea made a good start and he positioned straight away in the “top 10”. During lap 3, while he was making a furious comeback, he made contact with an opponent and the crash forced him to retire when he was in P6. Alberto, instead, made it to the 14th and the 15th place respectively in Free and Timed Practice. In Qualifying Race, he conducted a regularly paced run and he finished in P13.

On Sunday morning, Andrea was 14th after a few corners of Race 1. During lap 2, though, the Sicilian had a slip and he found himself in last place. Adamo tried his best, but in such a quick and challenging circuit he was not able to complete his comeback to the “top 10”, as he passed in P11 at the checkered flag. In Race 2 Andrea made a better start, but after one lap only, the stewards waved the red flag and the riders had to go back to the starting gates. At the Andrea entered straight away in the “top 10” at the second starting the first chaotic phases of the race he lost a few positions but he quickly found his pace and he made up for it. In the end, Andrea conquered an excellent P6, a result that improved the general trend of the weekend. Thanks to those placements Andrea ranked 7th Overall and he was able to keep 5th place in the General Classification.

In Race 1 of the MXGP class, Alberto was 14th at the end of lap 1. During the 20 remaining laps he moved up a couple of places only, and he finished in 12th place after a well-managed race. At the start of Race 2, Alberto made the same performance again, ending lap 1 in P13 and keeping the same controlled pace that he showed in the previous race. He did not move a lot from where he was, and he crossed the finish line in 13th position. At the end of the day, he was ranked in P14, a placement that allowed him to keep 10th place in the General Classification.

 

The fourth round of the FIM Motocross World Championship will take place back in Europe. Teams and riders will move to the Agueda circuit, where the GP of Portugal will be hosted on the first weekend of April.
